Nope, he used both hands on guitar, and played keyboard using his guitar's headstock... obviously the keyboard part wasn't very complicated. But it was still cool, and sounds very impressive when you just say he played them simultaneously.

Other things you usually get to see Jonny do if you go to one of their concerts:
Piano or keyboard:
Glockenspiel:
Ondes Martenot, or at least an instrument designed after one. It's the thing from the Star Trek theme song:
Drums:
Analog synths:
Kaoss pad (to manipulate samples recorded during the show):
Radio:
Apple laptop (to manipulate more samples recorded during the show, and probably some pre-recorded stuff too):

Thom's insane dancing:
And their sweet lights:

Radiohead might just be hitting the spot right now. I'll have to listen to some more though.
That's such an awesome song.
See, Josh? I told him the right album to listen to!!!
Also... Jonny's like Beck live.

He plays about a billion instruments on stage, too... many of which are bizarre.

But he hasn't listened to the other albums yet. Some of us think there are songs on the other albums that are just as good as Street Spirit.
OK Computer probably would've been a good one for him to listen to first also. The main difference between The Bends and OK Computer musically, in my opinion, is that with OK Computer on some songs they started using different samples and noises that you can't get from just playing a song with guitars and keyboards, that hopefully induces certain emotions in the listener.
But yeah, as much as I completely love Kid A, it's probably not a good album to recommend for someone to download and listen to if they haven't heard much Radiohead before.

It's okay though, Kym and I admire him together.

I didn't say that he'd ONLY like "The Bends", I said it'd be a good album for him to start on! Fool!!!

I thought you meant the right album to listen to as in all the other ones would've been the wrong album to listen to.

hmmm.... well, since MGB, OLP, and IME were also my main three bands for quite some time (10 years now), I would suggest trying two bands in particular:
1. JUMP LITTLE CHILDREN (I really couldn't recommend this band any more)
songs to try:
Cathedrals, Vertigo, Violent Dreams, Dim and the Dark, Say Goodnight, Education, Mother's Eyes, My Guitar, Lover's Greed, Requiem, Angel Dust, Close Your Eyes... (man, I can go on... there are so many great ones! check em out if you have a chance)
2. OURS
songs to try:
Sometimes, Dizzy, Medication, I'm A Monster, Here Is The Light, Bleed, Fallen Souls, Chapter 2 (Money), Places, Broken, Red Colored Stars
hope this helps!
